A BRADFORD charity is spreading the festive cheer with a Santa meet and greet.

St Vincent’s at Rees Way, off Otley Road, will be holding a free event for all children where they can meet Santa.

Each child will receive a gift and have the opportunity to have their picture taken, with only a small contribution to the charity required.

The cafe will be open all day

Ivor Allen, one of the oldest volunteers at the charity, said: “We’re offering a cup of tea and pop for the kids and they can come and have their picture taken with Santa.

“It’s a special event that we're holding and we want as many kids to come along.”

The event will be held between 10am and 2pm on December 9 and 10 at the store on Rees Way.
